AN ODE TO LIFE

AN ODE TO LIFE

preserved on film


  28 August 2026, the restaurant-poem “Living Souls” turned five.

To mark the occasion, I was invited to create a classic analogue album for the people behind it.   


ALIVE

That was the word people kept returning to when they saw the photographs. Perhaps it was inevitable.


Living wine.

Living conversation.

Live music.

And analogue photography — alive, too.


This project looks beyond the name of a place. Beyond the polished surface.

It is about the people behind the brand — their ease, their mischief, their honest emotions.


No retouching.

No masks.

Nothing to perfect.

Just people, exactly as they are. 


HUMAN ART

I believe analogue photography is an antidote to digital mass production.


A gesture.

A glance.

A laugh.

A moment that cannot be repeated.


The art of being human.
